Twenty-five minutes in, Everton play a ball down the middle, which Jamie Carragher should deal with but he doesn't. After dithering and dallying, Daniel Agger holding his arms open to show Carragher a route out, the veteran defender eventually hoofs a hopeless clearance straight at Tim Cahill. The ball breaks to Nikica Jelavic, on the spot, and the striker strokes a clean finish into the bottom-right corner

Two minutes into the second half and Andy Carroll spurns an excellent chance to get Liverpool back in the game. Downing whips in a fantastic cross from the right and Carroll is at the far post four yards out. All he has to do is head the ball into the net. However he sends the ball miles wide. Mr Carroll, that's the least you can do, hide your head in shame

Despite Carroll's miss, Liverpool start the second half strongly and just after the hour there's another defensive howler. This time the offender is an Everton defender, and Liverpool are level. Sylvain Distin is chasing back down the Liverpool right. He should just clear, but decides to roll the ball back to his keeper. However, he gets nothing on it, and Suárez is on his shoulder …

Suárez scoots clear, towards the area. Tim Howard comes out. The Liverpool No7 has missed countless chances this season but not now: he clips a simply magnificent finish with the outside of his boot into the bottom-left corner

Carragher said of the Liverpool goalscorers: 'Andy Carroll will be remembered forever, that goal's worth £35m on its own. And Luis Suárez? I wouldn't swap him for any player in the league.' So it's the Liverpool fans who will be back at Wembley next month where they will be cheering their team on against either Tottenham or Chelsea
